reality tv

Not all of us grew up watching 'America's Next Top Model,' but there's no way you haven't heard of the insanity that was this reality tv-show. The concept? Pretty standard, a modeling competition run by a successful model herself. However, the show is so unhinged and 95% of the absurdity derives from Ms. Queen herself, Tyra Lynne Banks (Yes we looked up her middle name, this is serious business). The show is filled with iconic, and problematic moments that you can't help but find both terrifying, and hilarious. So let's relish in some of Ms. Banks' moments that just make her her.

Netflix's reality tv show Too Hot To Handle is a trainwreck we just can't tear our eyes away from. Probably because the show's participants are too attractive to look away from. If you don't watch the show, the basic premise is that the contestants win a cash prize as long as they don't get sexual with each other in any way and shift their focus to building emotional connections instead. Sounds easy enough right? Not for these horny fools. We figured the type of people that are too hot to resist are the kinda people worth emulating in life, even if their sexual organs may not always be in the right place. Scroll down for our fave dance moves and expressions from Season 1 and Season 2, and give 'em a go at your next social gathering. If it works for the cast of Too Hot To Handle, we're positive it'll work for you too. 

After what felt like forever, (about a year and a half), 'Love Island UK' season 7 finally started its run. A lot of us were skeptical, beginning to lose faith, and dare we say, feeling 'love-less.' But ITV2 did not disappoint. It has been quite the week, first, we got 'Too Hot To Handle' and now this! Our summers are officially booked. If we don't answer for an extended period of time, you know what we're doing.

You can already tell this cast is going to be drama-filled, and all we can say is that we're bloody excited.

After much anticipation, Netflix finally came out with the second season of 'Too Hot To Handle.' This time, they were strategic and only released 4 episodes at a time, probably because they knew how fast many of us would unhealthily binge it. But they definitely did not skimp out on the drama this season. We don't know what it is about watching hot people fall in love that is so entertaining, but maybe it's not worth questioning. The remaining episodes of the season will be released in 3 days, so y'all have plenty of time to catch tf up.

Sometimes I think that I'd be great on a season of "The Bachelor," but then I remember that it's all acting, and I'm a terrible actress. What's the point of calling it reality TV if it's the opposite of reality? This is why I have trust issues y'all! A Redditor started a thread asking people who have been featured on reality TV shows what it's really like behind-the-scenes, and it's actually super interesting. Have a peek below. 

Ah mansplainers, they always show up when they're least expected, or really rather when they're least wanted. It's amazing how 'mansplain' has fully been accepted and incorporated into the general lexicon of most generations (yep, even my dad asks me sometimes, 'Hey, was that mansplaining?'), yet it is still a huge issue that continues to drive people crazy all over the world. I guess defining an issue doesn't end the issue. Good to know... Seriously though, these men can be ruthless, they will mansplain your own name to you, they don't give a f**k.

At least we have Twitter, where survivors of mansplaining instances can come together and roast these relentless men who really had the audacity.

90 Day Fiancé is one of the weirdest shows on the air right now, but it's the kind of thing that is so painful you can't look away. I don't know why people become so attached to the characters, but it's probably because they are so personable. They are literally just regular a$$ people who are trying to find love. Isn't that something we can all relate to on some level? Let's think of Big Ed for example. I think we could all see a little bit of ourselves in Big Ed. He clearly makes many mistakes, but that's what makes him Big Ed. Okay, have I said big Ed enough?

These Twitter Memes perfectly encapsulate the absurdity that is 90 Day Fiancé.

So 'The Bachelor' Finale finally happened. For some reason, this one felt extra weird. Kind of hard to put my finger on it. Could've been the long pauses, the weird comments, or perhaps the inappropriate leg rubbing. Regardless, the 'After The Final Rose' segment is usually uneventful, however this year it was definitely one to remember. I don't know about you, but my favorite way to remember such random events is through memes, and we sure received a lot from last night. Thank you, meme gods.

Here are some of the best memes and tweets of the night that truly capture everything that happened:

When it comes to the world of social media, everything looks perfect. But, as we all know, it's all a lie, and nothing is as it seems. The growing movement of influencers exposing the harsh truths behind the seemingly picture-perfect lives we see on Instagram raises awareness of the influencer industry's detrimental effects on consumers. But still, people continue to compare their real lives to the fake ones they perceive to be perfect on Instagram and other social media platforms, which can create body image issues, jealousy, and insecurities, amongst other things. One Thai model has posted a series of side-by-side pictures on Twitter of the realities behind the lies we see on social media. Vienna posts the pictures with witty captions, giving a glimpse into the fact that behind the poses, the filters, and the sucked in tummies are regular people, doing a job and making an income. Here is a selection of her creations.
